Chely and Miss Minnie Get Their WAY
When Chely Wright was a newspaper delivery girl in her hometown of Wellsville, Kan., she knew every street like the back of her hand. €œI also knew every crack in the sidewalks,€ she jokes.
Recently, the folks of Wellsville surprised the former €œpaper girl€ by giving Chely her very own street, Chely Wright Way.
It all happened on €œChely Wright Day€ as Wellsville€™s most famous citizen returned to the town for a gala homecoming. During festivities attended by Chely€™s family and hundreds of fans, Main Street was officially renamed in honor of the town€™s renowned €œSingle White Female.€ City officials also unveiled a brand-new sign: welcome to wellsville, home of chely wright.
€œWhen you leave a great little community like Wellsville, you always dream about coming home and being famous,€ declared Chely. €œBut this is an honor I never imagined.€
Chely also gave back to her community, presenting Wellsville€™s new elementary school with a piano courtesy of her Reading, Writing & Rhythm Foundation.
